Park rangers and rescue workers reporting that traffic through the Icelandic highlands has been less this year than in years past.
2012 saw records set for traffic across highland roads, RÚV reports. However, this summer has seen traffic levels decline, due in part to the abysmal weather much of the country has been experiencing this spring and summer.
When the sun finally revealed itself last week travelers took to the F roads, or at least those that are open and safe for passage. The weather has not been great for road conditions this summer either.
